Xcodebuildmcp

Use XcodeBuildMCP tools instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.

Capabilities:

• Session defaults: Configure project, scheme, simulator, and device defaults to avoid repetitive parameters
• Project discovery: Find Xcode projects/workspaces, list schemes, inspect build settings
• Simulator workflows: Build, run, test, install, and launch apps on iOS simulators; manage simulator state (boot, erase, location, appearance)
• Device workflows: Build, test, install, and launch apps on physical devices with code signing
• macOS workflows: Build, run, and test macOS applications
• Log capture: Stream and capture logs from simulators and devices
• LLDB debugging: Attach debugger, set breakpoints, inspect stack traces and variables, execute LLDB commands
• UI automation: Capture screenshots, inspect view hierarchy with coordinates, perform taps/swipes/gestures, type text, press hardware buttons
• SwiftPM: Build, run, test, and manage Swift Package Manager projects
• Project scaffolding: Generate new iOS/macOS project templates

Only simulator workflow tools are enabled by default. If capabilities like device, macOS, debugging, or UI automation are not available, the user must configure XcodeBuildMCP to enable them. See for workflow configuration.
